Human Appeal International Australia has launched, in conjunction with the Islamic Council of Victoria (ICV), an urgent “Victoria Bushfires Relief Campaign” and pledged an initial donation of $20,000 to help the affected individuals and communities in Victoria.
This catastrophe, which intensified over the weekend, has claimed the lives of 130 residents, left at least 750 homes destroyed, burnt out more than 330 000 hectares and entire towns have been wiped off the map. This devastating tragedy has been recorded as the deadliest natural disaster in Australian history, and the death toll is expected to rise.
Thousands of homeless people remain in emergency shelters with nothing but the clothing on their backs.
YOUR DONATION IS URGENTLY NEEDED!
HAI encourages all community members to donate immediately and generously to ease the suffering of our fellow Australians.
